The administrative console is a Web-based application that
runs on any browser supported by WebSphere® Application
Server. This topic describes how to start the administrative console
for the deployment manager.
Before you begin
This topic assumes
that you have a running deployment manager
profile. See Verifying that the deployment manager is running on IBM i if
you have not yet attempted to start the deployment manager.
The
browser-based administrative console for WebSphere Application
Server requires that cookies be enabled in the browser. This topic
also describes how to enable cookies.
About this task
Use
this procedure to start the administrative console
on a workstation.
Procedure
- Open the following
web page in your browser:
http://your.server.name:port/ibm/console
The your.server.name variable
is the host name of the IBM i® server on which your deployment
manager is running. The port variable is the administrative
console port as noted in the ready message in the joblog of your application
server.
The administrative console port of the deployment manager
profile is 9060. For more information about the
ready message, see Verifying that the deployment manager is running on IBM i.
- When prompted, enter a user ID.
The
administrative
console is displayed in the browser window.
The user ID does
not need to be an IBM i user profile. This user
ID is used only to track which users make changes to the deployment
manager configuration.
